Thanks for that.
Do you mean a plate under the runners extending out for the extra seat? I looked at old threads and it mentioned a support bracket beside the handbrake. Does the plate do away with the need for that? And what thickness plate did you go for?
Sorry for all the questions.

I would like to know if I need to put a full lengt...

Hi I have now purchased a propex and a V2 kit from gasure. Just wondering which way to point the air inlet? Diagram shows it facing directly forward of the van but was wondering if this would blow it out/stop it working? P.S. Any one fitted a v2 kit before? Seems to suggest that the controlable vent...
